My gut reaction said that holding a giveaway when my blog is less than a year old seems a bit too soon, so this giveaway is actually a thank you to all of my DeviantArt people out there. While I’ve only been on WordPress for less than a year, I’ve been on DeviantArt for 9 years now! XD I’ve just broken 2,500 followers so I wanted to celebrate.

For that reason, I’m hosting the giveaway on Deviantart. So to find out the details and enter into the giveaway, you’ll need to go to the DeviantArt page (and create an account if you don’t have one already). I just wanted to give everyone who follows me here a chance to know about it ^-^

Here’s a sweet pixel style Valentine’s Day project for any Legend of Zelda or video game fan!
I would have taken the chance to deplete my suiting stash some more, but I found a better Valentine’s themed project in my quilting fabrics.
Each little square of cotton fabric is sewn together as a grid to make one of the many well-known pixilated icons of the Legend of Zelda video games. I’ve seen a lot of 8- & 16-bit quilts before and I while I’ve made tons of quilts in the past I haven’t had a chance to make a pixel one yet. I’m glad I finally got the chance 😀 It went better than I thought going through my cotton stash. Cutting up all the cotton squares really helped use up some fabrics that I thought I would never get rid of, so making pixel projects really helps with stash busting ^-^ I can’t wait to work on another one!
I thought making the heart pixel into a pillow cover was a good bet, because you then you can see it on your couch or bed everyday and makes a perfect gift for your Valentine ❤ If you know a little bit about quilting I’m sure this project will be a breeze for you. And if not, it’s not a terrible way to get started. All the little pieces can get overwhelming, but the guideline makes it really easy to put together one piece at a time.
